3 Stages of Planting Seedlings for Beginners

If you're a beginner to planting seeds indoors, I'd like to share the three basic steps: germination, early development, and hardening off. Each stage requires an adjustment to the growing conditions for the best results. I've included a chart to make the requirements clear - and will go through in a bit of detail the changes in temperature, humidity, air movement, watering and fertilizer. Happy planting!

If you find these videos useful, here are a few things you can do to help us out:

Jesus! Look at that view behind him! That is absolutely beautiful!

[RSr-uodl]

The scenery behind you in the beginning is just so breath taking!!!

[nowetaharthur]

Your videos are always warm, comforting and informative, my favorite are like this one and the history of roses, or different types, no one does these things like you!!! Much love

[Thezaccazzac]

I really like how you kept returning to the chart to describe an overview of the stages.

helps keep me focused on the part we are on.

Exactly, the information I have been looking for! Clear, unfussed, andvery well presented! A Star is born! Thank you!

[valeriezendiver]

Thanks, I’m new to seed starting and this was very helpful.

[elraed]

Clear and to the point. Thank you Jason. I would like to know more about artificial lighting if you have done any videos on that subject.

[LTGiants]

Jason, you are one of only a few gardening/growing channels I subscribe to and your videos are always so on point. Thank you for the energy and care you put into explaining everything in your videos. Great job as usual 👏🏻

Hi Jason. Really enjoyed the visit to the rose farm the other day. I want to thank you for this video. I’ve been starting seeds indoors for 3 years and thought I had it. Different plants (seeds) seem less forgiving. This format helped me realize where I needed to adjust things. Thank you so so much

[AmourEtLiberte]

I am a beginner and this video just saved all my seedlings, , , too hot on stage 3…. Thank you so much!!!

[pietervanderwesthuizen]

Thank you for a very valuable video. I now see where i go wrong when I start my seedlings. With this knowledge I am sure to do better.

Great video! You filled in the blanks for my hardening off stage. I appreciate the tip on using the gentle fan and the specific temperature requirements. I moved my 4 tiered rack of plants in front of my open window. The temperature is perfect. The breeze is gentle. It is rainy and overcast today so they are still enjoying the light from my grow lights but are getting the temperature drop and the gentle breeze. Love your communication style too. No fanfare, noise, or car salesman type hype. Calm and clear. Have an amazing day. God Bless you.

Great video for the three stages. Last year I purchased an indoor artificial light grow system (6, 400 K) to start my seeds, but did not start them off in dark, high humidity. That explains my hit & miss success in getting some of them started. Thanks again.

Your view back there is beautiful! Thank you for the information 🙂

[jocelynepambrun]

you were right on, ,first i see that follow precise and simple direction

[kimberlyrodriguez]

I appreciate all your good information and your kind encouragement. I was going to give up on starting seeds because my seedlings only thrive until a certain point, but now I will keep on trying.
